What should be inside $VTDATAROOT directory?

[Anantha]

Hi,

I accidentally deleted the $VTDATAROOT directory permanently.  I have tried to recreate it by putting all Go-related files in it. Right now, this directory looks like this:

ubuntu@ubuntu4:~/gocode/src/github.com/youtube/vitess$ tree -L 2 $VTDATAROOT 

/home/ubuntu/gocode

-- bin

-- dist

---- grpc

---- protobuf

---- vt-zookeeper-3.3.5

-- go

---- api

---- AUTHORS

---- bin

---- CONTRIBUTORS

---- doc

---- favicon.ico

---- include

---- lib

---- LICENSE

---- misc

---- PATENTS

---- pkg

---- README

---- robots.txt

---- src

---- test

---- VERSION

-- lib

-- pkg

-- src

---- github.com

-- tmp

-- vtdataroot

-- vthook

When I try to build Vitess, I get this error:

ubuntu@ubuntu4:~/gocode/src/github.com/youtube/vitess$ make build

/bin/bash: godep: command not found

make: *** [build] Error 127

What am I missing in this directory?

Thanks in advance,

Anantha

The $VTDATAROOT should only contain temporary for running processes, or persistent data files for things like mysqld. If you remove $VTDATAROOT, it should only erase the stored data and your database will be empty.

If you deleted more than just the database files, like the $GOPATH for example, the best way to get it back is to re-run bootstrap.sh.

Hi,

I tried running bootstrap.sh again, but I get this error:

We couldn't find protoc 3.0.0+ installed on your system. While this

won't prevent grpc from working, you won't be able to compile

and run any meaningful code with it.

Please download and install protobuf 3.0.0+ from:

   https://github.com/google/protobuf/releases

Once you've done so, or if you think this message is in error,

you can re-run this check by doing:

   make verify-install

+ CONFIG=opt

+ ./tools/run_tests/build_python.sh

++ dirname ./tools/run_tests/build_python.sh

+ cd ./tools/run_tests/../..

++ pwd

+ root=/home/ubuntu/gocode/dist/grpc/grpc

+ rm -rf python2.7_virtual_environment

+ virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python2.7 python2.7_virtual_environment

./tools/run_tests/build_python.sh: line 38: virtualenv: command not found

gRPC build failed

I have already installed protobuf using go get code.google.com/p/goprotobuf/proto. Also, I have installed the C++ version and the python version of protobuf using the instructions on https://github.com/google/protobuf/releases.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

To fix the failing gRPC build, you will likely need to install virtualenv (`sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv` in Ubuntu). Running bootstrap again after that should succeed.
